The midterm elections 2018 are our first major opportunity to hold the Republican Party accountable.

They have been letting Trump get away with his attacks on the democratic institutions so important to everything we hold dear about the United States, while also destabilizing the world, making inequality worse, and endangering the future of our planet as we know it.

This is when the rubber hits the road.

To vote together with millions of Americans at home and overseas, you need to request an absentee ballot every election year, even if you voted absentee in the last election. Now is the time.

Go to www.votefromabroad.org to register to vote and request your absentee ballot now for you and your family living in Sweden.

Don’t forget to remind your American friends living abroad to request their ballot too.

The website provides an easy-to-use tool to help you register to vote and request your absentee ballot, and also answers many of the most common questions, and there is a voter help desk for support.
